Can't be as they are playing the SWAC Championship game on Dec 2.

yeah I know, but still.

IIRC, a couple years ago FAMU did get in, because they had a good record but were not in the CCG. A very rare at-large situation for the SWAC, I think.

North Carolina Central is an at-large this year.

The gap between the MVFC and Big Sky isnt that huge (UC Davis should have been in) but the gap between the Big Sky and CAA is pretty big. You'll see it first hand when Delaware gets curb stomped by Montana in the 2nd rd assuming they beat Lafayatte and its not even a layup for them. Shame they have arrogant fans who want out of the CAA badly when they cant even dominate in FCS or their own conference.

Delaware got bit hard by the injury bug this year. Don't put too much stock in their upcoming game(s).
